hey i'm new to the site and am relatively new to aquarium keeping. i have a 10 gallon tank with one platy and 5 zebra danios. i want to get some more fish, most preferably ones that would either eat algae or scavenge. any suggestions?

also i am currently trying to make my own bogwood / driftwood and sort of know what i'm doing but any advice would be appreciated.

Hello welcome to AA! You picked the best site to get started in the hobby! I suggest maybe getting a Bristlenose Pleco. They may not eat the most algae, but they are just overall an awesome fish to have. Now remember a bristlenose Pleco, a common Pleco will get over 1-2 feet long! :0 Good luck!

i bought an albino bristlenose about two weeks ago and it died the same day. i tested the water and everything and it was all fine. the pleco was even pretty active towards the end of the day, but when i woke up he was dead.

yeah, it has been running for around 2 months, i bought some extra danios to make a more full school and they all lived. honestly i dont think it was my tank, though i did not have any algae, but within 24 hours? i dont think it would matter, plus i gave him an algae waffer

on the test strips it all said safe, and i had just done a water change the day before. idk, i think i just got a bad fish, i still might get a bristle nose, but its recommended to have a 30 gallon tank.
